Why does Surfrider Foundation oppose new offshore oil drilling?

SURFRIDER FOUNDATION OPPOSES ANY NEW OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING

Our nation’s oceans, waves and beaches are vital recreational, economic and ecological treasures that will be polluted by an increase in offshore oil drilling.

We strongly support reinstatement of the federal moratorium on new offshore oil drilling.

Instead of advocating for transient and environmentally harmful ways to meet America’s oil needs, we should seek a comprehensive and environmentally sustainable energy plan that includes energy conservation.
